Keeping Ourselves Educated What We Brought Home From the Utah Dental Convention
with us. We currently have a cold laser at our practice, and after this lecture, we plan to bring in a soft tissue laser.
Did you know that in the state of Wyoming, there are no continuing education requirements for dentists? It’s a sad state of affairs, but it does not keep our office from making continuing education a core part of our practice. From our early days, Livingston Dental made ongoing education for our staff an essential part of providing and maintaining a standard of excellence to our patients. Education matters because you can’t diagnose what you don’t know, what you don’t see, and what you don’t understand. As intensive as dental school is, it’s impossible to learn everything in four years, especially with constant improvements to technology. When you attend trainings or conferences, you find out how well you’re doing, and you also find out how well you’re not doing. If we don’t challenge ourselves to learn about new diagnostic methods and treatments, how can we ever expect to provide the best to our patients? That’s why, in early May, our staff went to the Utah Dental Convention in Salt Lake City to improve our current skills as a professional team. We were fortunate to hear from recognized lecturers in the dental community and we enjoyed a variety of speakers. Among those, a lecture conducted by Dr. William Chan opened up our practice to the benefits of laser dentistry. Dr. Chan has been working with lasers for over 30 years, and he shared information about soft tissue lasers
Dr. Chan’s full-day lecture included trainings with different technology, and we were grateful to learn from him. It’s wonderful to have technology, but you need the corresponding training to optimize it. Just like a
car isn’t any good if you don’t know how to drive it, the latest dental technology will only benefit our patients if we are trained and skilled in using it. We’re grateful we had the opportunity to learn and add to our skills, and we look forward to sharing this new technology with you!
